More quotes by Bono
Stop asking God to bless what you're doing. Find out what God's doing. It's already blessed.
Bono
The human heart is greedy it will use religion, color, or any other excuse to justify its greed. Blame the human heart.
Bono
It's stasis that kills you off in the end, not ambition.
Bono
Sometimes religion gets in the way of God.
Bono
I wouldn't run for President. I wouldn't want to move to a smaller house.
Bono
I put Catholic guilt to work pretty good for a rich rock star.
Bono
Technology is huge I wanted to learn about it. People might say that's odd, but I think it's odd if artists aren't interested in the world around them. I'm always chasing that.
Bono
Happy the country that lives on nothing but its wits cursed be the one that thinks it can get rich by planting or digging or drilling for wealth.
Bono
When a nation is over-reliant on one or two commodities like oil or precious minerals, corrupt government ministers and their dodgy associates hoard profits and taxes instead of properly allocating them to schools and hospitals.
Bono
The less you know, the more you believe.
Bono
If I don't understand it, it must be art.
Bono
But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.
Bono
The extraction of oil, coal and minerals brought, and still brings, a cost to the environment.
Bono
I'm a singer, not a politician, and I think you don't want the two to get confused. It's not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months.
Bono
Religion can be the enemy of God. It's often what happens when God, like Elvis, has left the building.
Bono
Music can change the world because it can change people.
Bono
I have been working for Africans since I was 18, when I got involved with the Nelson Mandela concerts. I got involved with debt cancellation because Desmond Tutu demanded that the world respond to that situation.
Bono
At the heart of the Irish economy has always been the philosophy of tax competitiveness. On the cranky left, that is very annoying I can see that.
Bono
I have learned to interface - what I think would be the contemporary term - with various different lexicons, and people speak very different languages. I've learned to speak in a lot of tongues, and I can live with the bellicose language of some fervent, fire-breathing Christians, sure.
Bono
Facts, like people, want to be free - and when they're free, liberty is usually around the corner.
Bono
